Damage to a relay contact after cyclic current loading. A better understanding of inverter reliability will help boost performance and reduce costs. Image: Fraunhofer IMWS. Inverters are critical to ...

Many single-phase motors used on refrigeration systems will incorporate some type of capacitor. They will either use a start capacitor to aid in its starting or a run capacitor to improve its running ...

Engineers often face design goals with conflicting requirements. For instance, take a design that requires an input capacitor to stabilize the bias voltage and present clean dc power to the device’s ...
